Even the royal engagement has a Brazilian twist - the Issa dress Kate Middleton wore for her engagement announcement to Prince William is by a Brazilian designer, Daniella Helayel:
In Rio, Issa items can be purchased at from the store Alberta, which has locations in Shopping Leblon and in Ipanema (Visconde de Piraja 302). In the states, it can be purchased at Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus.
Strangely enough, on a similar note, I just discovered that a friend is designing men's clothing for Hardy Amies, known as the couture house of the Royal family... maybe he will be designing some things for the royal wedding....
